Lyrics: 
For all time
For all time

Day after day
I sat alone and wondered if you’d
Ever come my way
Now that you’re here
I’ll put it on my mama that you’ll
Never have to fear
My dear

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
I’m gonna love you through them all
Because this love, this love will last

For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last

When you walked through the door
I knew it in an instant that this
Love was meant to be
Like a ‘15 Margaux
No legendary vintage ever
Tasted quite so sweet
Stay with me and

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
I’m gonna love you through them all
Because this love, this love will last

For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last
For all time
This love will last
For all time

For All Time

Natural High- Bloodstone (𝓼𝓵𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓭 + 𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓫)

Compiling the follow-up to a very successful first album is always a tricky task, but just 12 months since the release of volume one in the 'With Love' series, miche has excelled himself once again with another glorious, deep dive into the world of rare soul. 15 tracks of independently released music, created by magnificent artists with stories to tell and primed for rediscovery.

The ambition to celebrate under-the-radar artists has remained, but instead of a facsimile of volume one, what we have here is a selection shaped by life changes. Volume two is for the dancers; still soulful, still ultra-rare and slept-on records from the USA, Chile, Brazil and beyond, but the dynamics of the collection have shifted slightly. It represents a move from being immersed in a week in week out environment of beautiful, soulful music in a cosy, dimly lit hi-fi bar to playing livelier, more energetic, dancefloor-focused music in nightclubs. This volume will get you on your feet, make you move and unleash whatever it is that makes you get down.

One of the jewels in the crown of this compilation is a joyous, anthemic gospel version of Stevie Wonder's 'As' by The Family Tree (a project produced by the fantastic Julius Brockington). We are also treated to a rare and sought-after Pennsylvanian funk / AOR bomb by Maxwell, a stunning modern soul tune 'High On You' by Freedom, and self-released Brazilian 45s by Banda 22 and Zé Da Lata. P.J. City's 'Straight Forward (Non-Stop)' is gospel-disco perfection, and we also have 'Dame Solamente Amor’, a sublime, soul beauty from Chile by Rogers Mitchell. Many of these artists featured in this compilation aren't household names, but they deserve their moment to shine, to be heard, loved and appreciated for their artistry.

As miche says it, “I hope this compilation helps in some way to keep this glorious music alive and play a part in connecting generations of music lovers from the worldwide soul family. As always, it has been made ‘With Love’.”

‘With Love Volume 2’ is available on limited edition 2 x Pink Vinyl LP, 2 x Black Vinyl LP, cassette and CD.
